Mutante: Prologue

Copyright 2023 Elizabeth Frerichs

Another tendril of magic kelp snaked out after the first and grabbed Rosie’s left tail fin, beginning to wend its way towards her torso. She gasped, the stream of bubbles escaping upwards with a speed she desperately envied.

Magic was unpredictable. Dangerous. Something she wanted nothing to do with—not after having watched her grandmother and aunt fall prey to an old curse. But, between her mother and the magical kelp forest, the forest was usually the lesser of two evils.

Rosie didn’t know what would happen if she left the safety of the magic path Grandma had created all those years ago, but she didn’t want to find out. As the kelp tendrils grew taut and countless other kelp plants shook their tips at her menacingly, she realized that she might not have any choice in the matter.


Hey y’all! I’m so excited to post this story. I love it 😀 Anyway, I don’t have a beta yet, but if someone wants to do it, please PM me.

My current plan is to post Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Saturdays until I have a solid beta. The story will be on my website a week earlier, but I’m also posting on fanfiction.net and wattpad.
